Joint Association Educational Webinar Series on PFAS, Part 1
This is Part 1 for this three-part webinar.
Part 1 - PFAS continues to be an area of growing attention for the botanical, tea, and spice industries, making collaboration across the supply chain more important than ever. Presented jointly by the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), American Spice Trade Association (ASTA), Tea & Herbal Association of Canada, Tea Association of the USA, and the UK Tea & Infusions Association, this webinar will provide a practical introduction to PFAS, including what these chemicals are and where they may be encountered throughout the supply chain, from agricultural inputs to packaging. Attendees will also receive an update on the evolving regulatory landscape, including upcoming European Union requirements taking effect in August, as well as industry efforts to advance sound science, share best practices, and support practical, risk-based approaches to PFAS management.
